If you ditch the orgasm bit it’s kinda like sharks? Like it’d just be edgy instead of some weird vore-fetish thing

Umm, what? Anything that has gestation similar to a human is probably incapable of this. Could you imagine these fucking alien beans duckin' and dodgin' in utero to slaughter each other with nubby hands and fingers? Lmao this is some Morrowind concept art shit

More like The Binding of Isaac. Only game in which aborting yourself can result in a positive outcome.

Oh, it gets worse.

Don't look up what blessing Gruumsh's wife gave to the orcs.

Tried looking that up but can't really find anything, what is the controversy there?

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I guess you do need some background information, especially because Wizards sure doesn't like spelling it out anymore.

In older editions it was assumed nearly all half-orcs were the offspring of rape, and "the blessing of Luthic" was given to make orcs fertile with nearly every other race.

The implications were clear, even more once you start diving into things like orcish society being a rigid patriarchy with a slave economy and one of Luthic's domains being not just servitude, but specifically female servitude.

In early DnD's defense, monster races were objectively, comically evil, and players were pretty heavily incentivised to pick humans (and assumed to be played by extremely nerdy guys), so it wasn't supposed to come up that much.

The fantasy was in killing the cannibal rape monsters, freeing their slaves, and not having to ask yourself "Are we the baddies doing an imperialism?" for burning down the orc village.

Wait, is this real? Surely this is parody, right?

No this was the lore.

Hell one of 3.5 edition's strongest monsters, from the the published books, was the undead, aborted, fetus, that was the product of the rape of another god, or celestial/hell/abyssal creature, by a god of opposing alignment, like an angel raped by an evil god.

Not really sure what the hubub is. It's lore for a dark thing in a fantasy world. It's like an unpopular opinion on c/unpopularopinion . You don't like it, persay, but it's effective content.
